AceShowbiz - The first video of Sean "P. Diddy" Combs' arrest has surfaced online, showing the moment he was led away from an NYC hotel in handcuffs. The footage captured what will likely be his final moment of freedom before his trial for sex crimes.

In the video obtained and published by TMZ on Friday, September 20, the 54-year-old was walking into the Park Hyatt New York hotel with his entourage. But the moment he entered the lobby, federal agents, who had been waiting for him, stopped him and separated him from his friends.

Diddy's crew, who might include his son Christian a.k.a. King Combs, appeared to be startled, but they remained calm as the hip-hop mogul was taken away. The rapper was also cooperative as he followed the federal agents.

Sometime later, Diddy reappeared on camera with his hands behind his back, seemingly put in handcuffs underneath his black trench coat. He was escorted through the hallway and led into an elevator. The federal agents later marched him through the lobby and out the front door of the hotel.

While Diddy came to New York City in anticipation of the indictment, the arrest reportedly came as a shock to him and his crew. It was previously reported that he was planning to surrender on Tuesday, September 17, but the feds showed up on late Monday night to make the arrest.

Diddy was subsequently charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution. He was denied bail twice and currently remains behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in NYC.

Diddy is placed suicide watch at the facility, but his lawyer Marc Agnifilo explained that this is a standard precaution for new high-profile inmates and not an indication that Diddy is suicidal. The attorney reassured that his client is "strong, healthy, confident and focused on his defense."
